Thought I'd share. Mik had a deep hot spot on her back that almost required surgery. Instead of a cone I made this shirt out of one of my long sleeved stretchy tops! The bottom of the sleeve that went around my wrist is where her neck is , and then I cut two holes for where her front legs went through. I velcroed half a maxi pad to the under side of the shirt so it would protect the wound and keep the cream on it [emoji]128522[/emoji] Hey, sometimes ya gotta just think outside the box [emoji]128521[/emoji]

Oh that's very clever (and she looks very cute in it!)  Did that work?

It definitely got her through to a point where it healed enough that she didn't need surgery. However, she would tug at the shirt and be an escape artist sometimes...so I went through many sleeves lol. The thing that helped the most was an anti itch cream that calmed the itch..plus was bitter if she licked it.

She definitely has some sort of allergy...just haven't been able to pinpoint it. Frustrating for sure! But now she has 3 spots on her back but she doesn't lick them to a point where it's a deep wound or anything...
